"Show Me Something"
Dedicated to the originator, Jarrell
Thank you for starting the MAY Show Me, Kevin [Y]
The roadway zigged and the concrete mixer zagged! Boss won’t be happy —

Another roadway scene, please.
Ed: “Another roadway scene, please.”
Traversing the reverse loop on the BRVRR.
More roadway scenes, please.
Here is a roadway for you to enjoy.
Show me another scene with a road of any sort.

The bridge into the big city:

Please show me another Semi-truck/Tractor-trailer.
Ed: “Please show me another Semi-truck/Tractor-trailer.”
There are a couple of Breckler Farms grain trucks at the Farmers Union elevator, beyond the Santa Fe passenger train.
More big trucks please.
A big dump truck in the Dragon Products limestone quarry on the Boothbay Railway Village layout
More big trucks please
Everyone’s posts are wonderful, but Ed, all I can say is wow! I have no idea how you got that foggy night scene but it’s amazing. Is that the Los Angeles city hall in the background?
Tim
Thanks, Tim! I’m still working on my “city scene” but compliments like yours keep me moving!
The building is one of the Bachmann Spectrum structures:

This line is one of the better offerings from Bachmann. As for my “fog” I use one of those Halloween fog machines that I got on Amazon. It uses glycerine for the fog. It is fun to use in photos and doesn’t have any bad side effects like the model “smoke fluid” does. No odor or residue.
Great stuff, folks! Carry on! Ed
The favorite truck of everybody in Florida. This picture was taken of the Orlando, Florida N-Trak group’s portable show layout.
Show me another truck, big or small.
-Kevin
Some trucks in my rural scene.
Please show more trucks.
I am certainly willing to share more truck pictures.
It looks like this is going to be a trucky Sunday… Please show me another truck.
-Kevin
A friend gave me this Artitec Opel truck, equipped with a right-hand drive. I made-up a story about the owner, who couldn’t bear to leave it in Hungary when he came to Canada…
That’s him, Zollie Kiss (pronounced Kish), hamming it up for the photographer.
Wayne
Please show me something on your layout that’s a bit of an anomaly, such as something too modern for your layout’s era, or out of scale, for example.
Poster in upper window, Deadmau5 was not around in 1985. More layout anomaly please. Regards, Peter
Well, I doubt you would see a 1910-era DD1, outside third-rail locomotive posed with a 1970s Metroliner: *

But I had fun just the same [:)]
*Although you can see an example of each at the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania.
More anomalies, incongruities or anachronisms, please.
There was a young guy and an old crazy guy named doc in a funky delorian that drove past and gave him that Deadmau5 poster

The portable On30 layout built by the First Coast Modelers here in Florida is set in the 1890s, but GORT did not arrive on Earth until 1951!
Show me any other thing that is out of place.
-Kevin
Well, a true PRR or B&O fan would spot it in a second [:$]
Another something odd or out-of-place, please.
Ed, that plaque on the front of the “Hippo” pretty-much turns it into a Hippo-Dome.
Wayne
Please carry on with something odd or out-of-place, folks.
Shades of Henny Youngman [:O] So funny it’s painful!
The back story is that this PRR I1sa was in the refurb depot at Broadway Limited. I got it for Ken as a reward for not smoking for one month (he’s up to one year, now!) but, it was disclosed by BLI that the front number plate was missing.
Well, I had a spare B&O Capitol dome on hand and I stuck the Blue & Gold on there for the one photo. Ken actually chose a toluidine-red Keystone that I applied to the model, probably the only PRR 2-10-0 to have such a number plate.

Model Railroading IS fun!
